Elders (65+) Therapists in Berlin, MD

Change is a constant in all our lives and it can take on many forms. Sometimes it can mean loss (death, divorce or end of a relationship, career changes or retirement, aging, family transition, moving to a new area) and sometimes it can involve helping someone you know cope with their changes or challenges (social skills, medical status, mental health, etc.)

Sexual inhibition, low desire, or dysfunction can leave you feeling insecure and worried about your relationship. Where once was love and joy, now there are bouts of loneliness and arguments. Sex has become another item on the to-do list, if it even happens at all. Maybe you have already tried couple’s counseling, but the frustration and resentment around your sex life keeps your relationship stuck and you’re still left wondering if it is your fault. You want to overcome the challenges that make sex unenjoyable, difficult, even painful, but you wonder if therapy can help.

Do you want to stop drinking or using drugs? Do you have a loved one struggling with substance use? Giving up something that has been used as a coping skill can be very difficult and present many challenges. Recovering from a substance use disorder will be a journey and one that I can help you with! It can also be difficult to know how to best support a loved one who is in active addiction or just beginning the recovery process. I have been working with adults of all ages with substance use disorders since 2009 helping them navigate the process of change with an open mind, empathy and compassion.

I provide individual and family counseling to children, adolescents, adults and couples. I welcome divorced and single parents, blended families and people of every race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. My passion and area of expertise involves assisting with relationship issues, grief, and trauma. Available services include but are not limited to evaluation, recommendations, referrals, crisis management, psychiatric/medication management support, individual/group counseling, anger management, co-parenting support, pre/postnatal compassion, professional development, consultation and supervision.

Accepting New Clients - Congratulations for taking the first step to begin a new journey. There are certain components vital in therapy in order to maintain a space of acceptance, growth, and healing. I am a Registered Psychology Associated under the supervision of Dr. Samantha Scott in Salisbury, Maryland. It is my job to help you to safely navigate this process. Taking this first step can be scary when confronting past events or coping with uncomfortable emotions. To assist you, I will maintain a non-bias, confidential, safe space to examine and process your experiences.

I work with individuals struggling with substance disorder abuse or dependence, in a private setting. I specialize in working with adults who need on-going outpatient counseling services. I also provide thorough initial bio-psycho social assessments to determine the appropriate level of treatment and/or treatment approach that is best suited for each individual. I hold a Masters in Professional Counseling, a Maryland license as a professional LCADA and accreditation as a Master Addiction Counselor. I believe all my clients have the capability and motivation to obtain remission and reach positive, productive outcomes.

Life isn't always what we expect it to be. And while family and friends can be great supports, sometimes we need an objective person to talk to who isn't personally connected to us. That's where seeing a therapist can help; you don't have to figure it all out by yourself. I provide a comfortable, caring atmosphere where you can speak freely without fear of judgment. We'll focus on the things that are important to you.

Whether you’re feeling the pressure of juggling multiple roles, feeling the weight of all the demands and expectations, or trying to cope with depression, anxiety or low self self-esteem, you don’t have to walk this path alone. Talking and making sense of your experiences can help you learn and understand more about yourself and what you need moving forward. Therapy is an educational tool and a safe outlet to help you gain clarity, insight, and awareness, and can help you adopt the skills necessary to overcome obstacles and improve your mental health.

Ideally, clients develop a trust with their therapist to work towards resolving those situations that are causing them stress, pain, discomfort or anxiety. Therapy is like a journey that requires trust, support and guidance in order to reach a goal. I have been working with individuals, children and families since 1989 in a variety of settings. I work extensively with victims of trauma, separation/divorce, and clients dealing with depression, bereavement and anxiety. If your goal is to reach inner peace then I can assist you in completing that journey.

When people experience severe life stressors and change, it's not uncommon for things to unravel in the shakeup. My passion is bringing healing to those in these seasons of life and to help in supporting and promoting healthy growth and change. I also love teaching and supervision and am on the Maryland Supervisors listing. I have been trained in a range of modalities and am a certified EMDR and TF-CBT therapist with extensive work with Sleep and Dreaming Practices to Heal as a Lucid Dream Facilitator, as well as decades working with grief, attachment theory and trauma.
